May 14

Hey LUGGers! Spring sure is a busy season. So many things to do and so little time! Many LUGGERs are busy playing a few different sports, so our May 14th event had a smaller turn out than usual.
Smaller turn out doesn't mean smaller fun, however! We spent some quality time on the range learning to set up a proper distance to hit the ball, before moving over to the chipping area for some good up and down game. We also got to check out this year's LPGA-USGA Girls Golf kit which includes some really cool goodies.


Our next proper event isn't until Monday June 4th (3-5PM), but we also have another Family Clinic on the afternoon of Sunday June 3rd (3-4:30PM). Both are at Cottonwood GC, of course. Hope to see you there!

Spring Fun and (Short) Game

How many swings does it take to land a golf ball inside a still hula hoop? For some LUGGers, not many, for others the stillness of the hoop was something of a problem...


But in the hoops the ball did land for all after a while.... even the most impatient among us learned that swinging little (rather than big) gets the job done better on smaller chip shots!


Of course, getting the chipping motion down on the range isn't quite the same as chipping onto real greens, and so we migrated down to Cottonwood GC's spacious short game area after a while for a good chipping practice and a contest.


Watch out for these LUGGers when they go out and play. They've learned how to get up and down around the green!



Our next event is on Monday May 14th (3-5PM). Hope to see you there!
